- Cunnessione di putenza: Connect the power plug to the amplifier. Ensure proper polarity (+12V, GND, Remote). Use appropriate gauge wiring for power and ground.
- Cunnessioni di parlante: Use the provided speaker connectors to connect your speakers to the amplifier's output terminals (CH1-CH4). Observe correct polarity.
- Input audio:
- Input di altu livellu: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the high-level input cables provided. Connect them to the speaker outputs of your head unit.
- Low-Level (RCA) Input: Connect RCA cables from your head unit's pre-out to the amplifier's RCA input jacks (CH1/2, CH3/4).
- Control remoto: Connect the level remote control if desired for convenient volume adjustment.

4.1 Power-Up iniziale
- Dopu chì tutte e cunnessione sò state fatte, ricunnette a batteria di u veiculu.
- Accendete a vostra unità principale. U amplifier should power on, indicated by the LED status bar.
4.2 Ajustà i cuntrolli
Use the integrated adjustment tool to set the following parameters:
- Controlle di Guadagnu: Adjust the gain for each channel (CH1/2, CH3/4) to match the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion. The LED status bar can assist in this process.
- Filter Settings (HPF/LPF):
- HPF (filtru passa-altu): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass. Useful for protecting smaller speakers from low bass frequencies.
- LPF (Filtru Passa-Bassu): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass. Typically used for subwoofers.
- Input Voltage cuntrollu: Adjust this setting based on whether you are using high-level or low-level inputs to ensure proper signal matching.
- Input Resistance (Input Load): For high-level inputs, adjust the input resistance to optimize signal transfer from the head unit.
